Construction and Maintenance Volunteer

Construction and Maintenance Volunteers help organizations with facility maintenance and small improvement projects. Given that most of the organizations with which BaseCamp works are small, community-driven initiatives, most struggle to find the funds simply to manage their on-going operations. As such, general facility maintenance and improvements are often re-prioritized leaving the organization's facilities to fall into disrepair.

The tasks and responsibilities of construction and maintenance volunteers vary greatly from placement to placement. Volunteers would often be taking part in general repairs and maintenance of placement facilities. This may include; bathroom renovations, roofing repairs, replacing doors and windows, painting, gardening, and much more. More advanced construction projects include; building emergency housing and major structural repairs of facilities like schools, orphanages or hospitals.

Below are listed several of our construction and maintenance volunteer positions. However, there are often several potential projects that have yet to make it into our system so please feel free to use the contact us form on the right side of this page to let us know what you are looking for if you do not find it listed here. Our team would be happy to work with you to find a placement that is a good fit with your skills and interests.
